HUNGARY – The second heat will take place on 27 January 2018 where ten entries will compete. Six entries will qualify to the semi-finals after two rounds of voting. In the first round of voting, five qualifiers will be determined by the combination of scores from each judge and an aggregate score from a viewer vote based on scores submitted through SMS, mobile app and online voting. In the second round of voting, the remaining five entries that were not in the initial top five face a public vote in order to determine one additional qualifier. The first five qualifiers were “Aranyhal” performed by Odett, “I Let You Run Away” performed by yesyes, “Azt mondtad” performed by Gergely Dánielfy, “Good Vibez” performed by Gábor Heincz Biga, and “Viszlát nyár” performed by AWS. “Lusta lány” performed by SavituS was the final qualifier. In addition to the performances of the competing entries, James Karácsony and Margaret Island performed as the interval act for the show.
